Wow guys, how close was that...

It all came down to that 1 hand where you had TJ vs AJ vs KQ. Even if we only win the side pot it"s all over for you guys... But I"m not going to be a sore loser.

Our teams played excellent tonight! We all tried to keep our team mates in the tournament as long as possible, and there were a few great counter attacks as well.

So if a team event should be all about getting your team over the line, I think our match tonight sets a damn good example!! Raggie did a great job applying maximum pressure with his big stack; we did our best to counter as good as possible.

Good luck in the Finals, I do hope you guys win because that would mean at least one of our team mates can maybe walk away with a prize :)

Yeah, very dramatic.  Heart monitors for the spectators in that one, not the players.  May the best team win in the final.

p.s. Congrats on the individual leaderboard win.

We had a very close semi-final against the Nobody Can Remember Our Name team, building a big lead, getting unlucky several times and then finally getting our own bit of luck near the end. Overall we were good for our win and justice prevailed, though it was tight at the end. When the pressure moments came, we thought of Shakira and all she has done for the world and we dug deep. We are in the final now, and we owe it all to her.

We dedicate our success to Shakira. Here are some discerning people who have prepared more tangible dedications to her:

A short one for those in a hurry:

And a longer one for those who wish to enjoy more fully the experience of doing something for Shakira:

In just three days time, the final of the National Online Cup will take place. Twenty-six teams entered the competition; twenty-four have been eliminated. Just two remain - us and Velvet Indulgence.

Velvet Indulgence is comprised of some of the best players in APAT, so this is a tough challenge. We have faced tough opposition before - East of England Unrememberables, Golden Graham and Nobody Likes Us were all very good teams who gave us difficult matches. We came through all of those games, thanks to Shaki"s inspiration, and we hope to do the same on Sunday.

I understand that the name Velvet Indulgence originated as swingers" club in Michelle"s imagination. It has still to become a reality, but the name will be well known before the club even opens.

May the best team win.

You may be interested to know that Shakira is the only Colombian ever to have received a French knighthood, as she was bestowed with a Legion of Honour - the Chevalier de L"Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, awarded to people who agree to be sexually molested in public by Government Minister, Frederic "le Gropeur" Mitterrand.

What a team! I"m referring, of course, to Velvet Indulgence, a superteam cherry-picked from the finest players in APAT. Between them, they have reached 273 APAT final tables.

Sharon Roberts
Richard Baker
Gordon McArthur
Michelle Gascoine
Darren Shallis
Steve Roderick    

However, we have achieved a succession of good results against top teams. Last week, Maggie Holt and Andy Hall took Team Shakira into the final, their 1st and 3rd place finishes being crucial in a tight contest.

We don"t know what tomorrow will bring. But we know that we will do our best. We must press our button and face whatever we find before us.

For those who don"t know Gordon, here he is enjoying himself at the bottom as transsexual Roberta Punani (formerly known as Bob "Knuckles" Punani) declares the World Gay Poker Championships open.

She"s the one who"s just arrived from the tennis court (though Frederic reportedly spent some time on his backhand afterwards):

The waiting is almost over. By this time tomorrow night we may know who has won the Cup. Or else we will be locked in a deadly struggle.

We have not grown tired from waiting. Shakira has shown us that the ability to wait for reward while you work towards a longer-term goal is a virtue.

Here we see a couple of Shakira"s starstruck fans waiting patiently for autographs while she speaks to the world:

The whole world loves Shakira and we have received Good Luck messages from many countries, all wanting us to win and keep Shakira"s name at the top where it belongs. I would hate to be playing for Velvet Indulgence tonight, knowing that the whole world is against them. I am not going to portray them as devils, just because others are doing so, but I hope their consciences don"t bother them too much when they try to get to sleep tonight. We will try to live up to the expectations of the world. We will do our best to win. For the children.
